QAtilat

QAtilat is a fictional open-source quality assurance platform used here to illustrate the components and workflows common to modern QA tooling. The project is designed to support end-to-end QA activities, including test case management, automated test execution, defect tracking, and analytics dashboards.

QAtilat originated in 2020 as a demonstrator project by NebulaSoft to explore scalable QA workflows. A community edition followed in 2021, with a commercial cloud service and enterprise features announced in 2022. The platform emphasizes a modular architecture and openness, with a REST API and optional GraphQL API, a web-based user interface, and a plugin ecosystem that allows extensions for custom reporting, integrations, and test runners.

Core features include test case management, test execution planning, automated test orchestration, and defect tracking linked to requirements and code changes. It supports behavior-driven development with Gherkin, data-driven testing, and parallel execution. Access control uses role-based permissions, with audit logs for traceability. Localizations cover several languages, and deployments can be conducted on-premises, in private clouds, or in public clouds.

In educational and professional contexts, QAtilat is used to demonstrate best practices in QA workflow automation, such as linking test results to tickets, tracking test coverage, and analyzing quality metrics over time. It remains a fictional example and is not associated with real-world products. Related topics include software testing, quality assurance, test management, and continuous integration.
